Forecasts

Dairy Force (9/4), Pleasureofpressure (7/2), Kp's Ladyofknock (4/1), Party Pack (8/1), Kalsman (17/2), Queen Nel (9/1), Circus Act (12/1), Justicialism (20/1), Brother Hollie (33/1), Urbs Intacta Manet (40/1), Boston Fire (50/1)

A case can be made for a few, but it could be worth chancing KALSMAN who showed up well for a long way on reappearance at Downpatrick. Pleasureofpressure and Dairy Force are likely to be popular in the market, and with good reason.
